C68
The sky was falling!
No one knew how many important decisions would be sent out from this room every day. It could be said that the entire land within millions of miles of the Great Flood would be shaken by an earthquake, and with the command of the eight chiefs, countless heads would fall to the ground.
But now, it was a mess within the cabinet.
Pen, ink, paper, paper, paper, memorials, and snowflakes filled the sky.
The few deputy ministers were all stunned, their faces filled with disbelief.
Those servants were so scared that they did not even dare to breathe. Their legs went limp and they almost fell to the ground from the shock!
No one had expected that Sun Qing, a first-rate scholar and head of the imperial court, would slap the table in front of everyone with a cold expression.
This scene was too short. It was filled with the smell of gunpowder. It was like they were at a stalemate!
"That idiot Hong Yu, when did he befriend Sun Qing?" Ku Ya! "Ku Ya!"
He was also a scholar, so he naturally knew the terrifying influence of Sun Qing, the great scholar. He had only wanted to suppress and suppress Hong Yu's overweeningly arrogant attitude, but he had never thought that he would actually be met with Sun Qing's intense reaction. Moreover, he hadn't expected that the Duke of Mu would also jump out and interfere.
Facing Sun Qing, he felt all sorts of pressure. This person had worked hard in the cabinet and in the imperial court for many years. His influence was astonishing, and was far beyond what he could afford to provoke. If he were to give in now, not only would he not be able to lift his head up in the future, he would also have to disappoint the 'crown prince' and completely lose the right to speak.
He was not fighting alone, and he also had the Mu Guogong, the leader of the army, as his ally. This added a bit of confidence to him, as he represented the interests of the 'princes' faction, and the Mu Guogong was a vassal state. If the two combined, they might not be afraid of Sun Qing …
"That brat is too secretive!" "Looks like he had already planned everything beforehand. He wasn't lucky enough to suddenly rise to prominence. Otherwise, Sun Qing definitely wouldn't have jumped up just for the sake of that brat." At the same time, the Duke of Mu was in deep thought. He was deeply fearful of Hong Yu, so his killing intent grew even stronger.
"Duke of Mu, Wei Zheng, you two villains, take private revenge. However, this matter is useless in front of me. The reward and punishment are reasonable, and the imperial court has its own rules and regulations, so it is not up to you to decide. "
Looking at the expressions on their faces, Sun Qing knew that they were both thinking of some crooked move, which angered them even more, causing them to become even more furious, their hair to stand on end, as their roars resounded throughout the entire room, "I know that all of you have ulterior motives, wholeheartedly planning for your masters, and are even willing to harm the interests of the imperial court. However, Great Hong only has one sky, and that is His Majesty, the Celestial Emperor.
"Hmm?" Looking at the roaring Sun Qing, he gritted his teeth and mustered up his courage: "Hong Yu is also a prince enlightened by Shang Yang Academy, in fact he is also my student. Watching him kill Demonshine, I am naturally happy too, but he is still young and vigorous, his edge is threatening, and the twenty-eighth and twenty-ninth princes died in his hands. Although there are some twists and turns in it, but no matter what, brothers are not kind people. Yet, it is Lord Sun, as the chief assistant of the Cabinet, who dares to publicly roar and slam his hand on the table? "
After being sprayed like a cannonball by him, everyone suddenly felt a deep chill in their hearts, as they were extremely afraid of this man. They knew that this man was not a simple man, and he was extremely fast and nimble, almost instantly forming words to retaliate. His words were like a cannon, and he even brought up the deaths of the twenty-eighth prince and the twenty-ninth elder; this was his determination to drag the Duke of Mu into the water.
Sure enough, when the Duke of Mu heard this, his mouth twitched even more. His eyes twitched as if he was about to lose control of himself.
Those servants were all trembling and almost couldn't hold back from urinating.
"Humph!" Just when everyone thought that the storm had subsided, Sun Qing moved again. He strode towards Wei Zheng and coldly snorted: "A mere last seat in the Cabinet. Even if the Crown Prince sees me, he still has to call me 'Master Sun'. Who do you think you are? You think you're qualified to talk to me? Why aren't you rolling down? I want to give you a paper! Take revenge on yourself! Suppressing the prince! I don't know why the emperor used you, but I want to see if the crown prince will offend me because of you! "Or give you up …"
"You! You! "You!" Wei Zheng's face turned red when he heard this, but he didn't dare retort. He knew that Sun Qing had taught the Crown Prince before and had the status of master and disciple. Compared to him, there was indeed a huge disparity in status.
A bit more powerful could crush someone to death!
Back then, when Hong Yu faced Wei Zheng and was humiliated in public, he had no choice but to act crazy and submit, not daring to breathe at all.
Right now, Wei Zheng faced Sun Qing the same way. He sprayed out violently, but after being scolded with "Who do you think you are", he was unable to swallow his anger!
Everything originated from Hong Yu. The cycle of karmic effects led to the repayment of his grievances!
The situation had developed to this point. Everyone knew that Wei Zheng's spirit had been defeated by Sun Qing. He became terrified and didn't dare to fight back.
Suddenly, the Duke of Mu moved.
Everyone tensed up again. Compared to Wei Zheng, who had just entered the Cabinet and was the last to sit down, Duke Mu seemed to have a rich and experienced background. He held a great amount of power, and his position, power, and even attitude were all much tougher than before.
"How dare you!" Sun Qing, you shouted publicly and even insulted the Head and Deputy Minister. Young Master Wei Zheng and I are chosen by the Emperor as his assistant general, so we naturally have the authority to punish him. The cabinet is not your Sun Qing, we also want to consult you on this. "Duke of Mu opened his mouth, but didn't say a single word. Suddenly, he changed the topic," Left and right, capture this person.
"This …"
The guards hesitated, looking left and right, unsure of what to do.
He might not be able to make a move, but it would also be difficult for him not to make a move.
The servants felt even more depressed, as if the sky had collapsed.
The sky had indeed collapsed!
The other chief aides looked at each other in dismay. They knew that from today onwards, no matter who won or lost the game, the Board of Directors would undergo a massive reshuffle and the entire Hong family would experience a huge earthquake.
After a long time, two of the bodyguards finally mustered up the courage to act. They steeled their hearts and moved their bodies, wanting to capture Sun Qing.
Compared to Sun Qing, the Duke of Mu was much more powerful. Not only was the Mu Clan powerful, but they also had a deep foundation. In the imperial harem, the Mu Imperial Concubine was favored by the Emperor.
"Duke of Mu, how dare you!" Sun Qing became agitated, and like a lion that had its hair standing on end, he frowned, and roared: "Old fool, if you dare to kick me out of the Cabinet, I will fight with you in front of the court! In any case, this old man has the background of an Imperial Censor, even if I have to go all out I can't do, I will drag you down, and I will not hold back even if I have to bash your head in the Golden Hall, you can give it a try! "Since ancient times, Wen Chen has always been proud of admonishing me to die, and now you're going to live in shame for ten thousand years. And you, Wei Zheng, is also a vile person …"
"Admonish him with death?" Since ancient times, whenever a country was unable to move towards another country, the last dynasty that had a monstrous talent would have a large number of scholars and scholars jump out to admonish the Emperor, denouncing all sorts of shortcomings. The emperor did not dare to kill his sage. He was afraid that the people of the world would curse him as an unconscious monarch. After that, he would set an example to make an example to pacify his officials.
At that time, a dispute would break out in the imperial court, and they would advise each other to the death. With the influence that he had in the hearts of the scholars of the world, it was likely that he would suffer for tens of thousands of years, and even the Mu Family would fall, and people would be shouting for him.
This way, the matter would become big!
Silence!
Silence!
Silence!
Wei Zheng's face was ashen, he knew that the situation had really blown up. No matter who won the fight between Sun Qing and the Mu Guogong, he would be blamed for this and his future prospects would be in vain.
"You!" The Mu National Duke was furious. His eyes were filled with hatred and his voice had changed tone. He was harsh to the extreme and his killing intent was explosive. His cold aura swept across the crowd and frightened them greatly.
"Humph!" Sun Qing harrumphed coldly. His eyes were wide open as a sharp light gleamed in his eyes. He was unwilling to be outdone.
However, Duke Mu did not react. Instead, he waved his sleeves and suppressed the murderous intent in his body as he spoke in a bone-chilling tone, "You, as a Minister, head of the Cabinet, and a general of the court, yet you are threatening the Emperor with your life just for a prince. Is this what you meant by threatening the Emperor? Or was it threatening me? Or did you have long been in contact with and colluding with that fool Hong Yu? "This is within the cabinet. Every single move of yours is being watched by countless people. I won't argue with you. Otherwise, I won't let your scheme succeed. You just have to wait for your impeachment."
After which, he flicked his sleeves and left.
When Wei Zheng saw this, he did not dare to stay any longer and followed closely behind with his tail between his legs.
"He left just like that?"
"Impressive! It's no wonder that Senior Shen is an Imperial Censor's official. He dares to remonstrate and disregard life and death. Even the Duke of Mu is afraid!"
"Even Duke of Mu is afraid. I'm also afraid that Lord Shen Qing will really cause a ruckus. How could he escape responsibility? He will be scolded harshly by the scholars of the world and have a terrible memory … …"
The chief aides watched the two leave and let out a long breath, discussing in hushed tones.
